INDIAN HISTORY ALONG THE KENNEBEC. 

The story of the Indian in the region of the Kennebec is one 
full of interest to all citizens of the State of Maine. It is not 
expected that we shall be able in this short account to mention 
all the details of the stirring events of the time which elapsed 
between the date when Indian history in this region begins and 
ends. Our purpose is to briefly state the story of the leading 
events of that stirring period. 

The date to be selected as the starting point is hard to de- 
termine. The Indian tribes east of the Conneticut river were 
known by the name of Abenaquois. But this name came in time 
to be restricted largely to those Indians who lived along the 
Kennebec from Merrymeeting Bay to Moosehead Lake. The 
name has come to have the spelling, Abenakis. The Indians 
were well disposed toward the whites and made no attempts to 
create trouble till after the Plymouth Colonists had carried out 
their methods of kidnapping and pillaging. As was natural their 
faith and good will was transformed into suspicion and hatred. 
From this grew trouble, which at times was very disastrous.

6 Winslota, Maine. 

The first glimpse of the redman of this valley is obtained in 
the accounts of Captain Gilbert. Those are very meagre but 
give something of a picture of Sebenoa and his tribe as they 
wandered through the forest unrestricted and fearless. The 
next recorded arrival of white men among the Indians is that of 
Edward Winslow and others of the Plymouth Colony in the fall 
of 1625. Three years later a trading post is established at 
Cushnoc (Augusta), and the white man comes more in contact 
with the child of nature. -E'or thirty-four years this post was 
continued as the trading base with the Indians. But during this 
time, sorry to relate, the English did nothing for the Indians in 
the way of educational or religious training. It remained for the 
French to supply this much needed assistance to the redman. 
We learn that in 1643 an Indian who had become a Christian 
under the labors of the French missionaries at Sillery or Quebec, 
came down the Kennebec as far as Cushnoc and told the Indians 
there of the majesty and beauty of the new faith. Through 
this agency there was considerable intercourse between the 
Abenakis and the Indians of the Northwest. A few years after 
a delegation from the Abenakis appeared at Sillery to beg that a 
missionary be sent to them on the Kennebec. The result of this 
appeal was the appointment of the renowned Father Gabriel 
Druillette who started on his mission in 1646. He established ^ 
successful mission at a point about three miles north of Augusta. 
Here he became greatly beneficial to the Indians. He was most 
eager to participate in all their pursuits, sharing the experiences 
of the tribe in its winter's hunting in the region of Moosehead 
Lake. He went back to Sillery in 1647 and did not return until 



Winslow, 3Iaine. 



1650 though the tribe sent a delegation each year requesting his 
return to them. In 1650 he came back and renewed his labor 
among them. This time he came as an envoy as well as a mis- 
sionary, and after meeting his old friends and companions at the 
mission he set out for Boston where he met in the capacity of 
envoy from the Abenakis Indians, the chief officers of the city 
and state. 

He was the first Jesuit to enter the streets of Boston. He 
also met the leading officials of the Plymouth Colony, and in all 
quarters was assured of the good will of the people in behalf of 
the Abenakis Indians, in this move for an alliance to protect them 
from the Iroquois who were very tr()ul)lesonie. But though 
Father Druillette returned to the Kennebec in a very hopeful 
frame of mind, his efforts were proven of no value as the people 
of Massachusetts could not be interested in the proposed alliance 
to such an extent as would be necessary to carry it to a successful 
ending. The result was that the Abenakis were left to depend 
upon their own resources. 

Father Druillette returned to the Kennebec in 1651 after a 
journey of fearful hardship from a long wandering in the forests 
in the region of the St. John river, occasioned by having lost 
all trace of the course he wag to follow. He finally reached the 
settlement at Norridgewock and was welcomed by his simple but 
sincere followers as an angel from heaven. He spent some few 
weeks attending to the needs of his mission, and then made 
another trip to Boston earnestly beseeching the people of Massa- 
chusetts to join with the Abenakis in defending the region from

the onslaughts of the Iroquois, but to no avail. Father Druil- 
lette returned once more to his valley mission and passed a l©ng 
dreary winter in performing his duties to his forest friends. At 
the beginning of March, 1652, he started for Quebec. This trip 
was to be more fateful than the one preceding it. Some of his 
party died of starvation. Father Drnillette was without food 
six days following the fasting season of Lent. They had even to 
resort to the boiling of their moccasins, and at last to the boiling 
of Father Druillette's gown — Camisole — which was made of 
moose skin. All but starved and thoroughly exhausted they 
reached Quebec. This was the last of Father Druillette's experi- 
ence with the Abenakis. Though his work had not preserved 
them politically, he had raised their standards and brought them 
to a higher plane of living for which they continued to love him 
and cherish his memory. This remarkable man was born in 
France in 1593, and died in Quebec in 1679, having passed nearly 
forty years in missionary work. 



FIRST INDIAN WAR IN MAINE. 

After the departure of Father Druillette, for nearly a quarter 
of a century the history of the Kennebec Indians is a blank. 
The friction between the English and the Abenakis continued to 
be productive of discord. The English made no effort to better 
the Indian. Puritanism had no attraction for him, but the 
religious rites of the Catholic faith with its beautiful symbols of 
those days in the skillful hands of an enthusiastic priest held 



Wtnsloio, Maine. 9 

their attention and won their faith and love. The Abenakis felt 
that the taking of Druillette from them was in some unknown 
way due to the influence of the English, and this being so it is 
plain to be seen that soon the relations between these parties 
must become strained. 

The events which led to the outbreak in Maine were brought 
on by the Iroquois opening war upon the settlements in the 
Valley of the St. Lawrence. There is an old tradition that there 
was fought near the outlet of Moosehead Lake a terrible battle 
between the Iroquois and the Abenakis. There is little or no 
proof to support this, but it has come down through history as 
one of the disasters of this tribe. It is said in this connection 
that a whole village was massacred save an old chief who was 
carried to the west and later tortured to death. 

With the opening of King Phillip's War came a stir among 
the Indians of Maine, especially in the western })ortion of the 
State. This led to an uneasiness on the part of the settlers about 
the mouth of the Kennebec. From this resulted a parley between 
the Indians of this valley and other Indians of the state and the 
English, in which an agreement was made by the Indians to yield 
up their arms and remain peaceful. This seemed to be a settle- 
ment of the matter, and undoubtedly would have been had not 
Squando, a Saco chief, interposed objections to the treaty, and 
refused to be a party to it. This spoiled the best laid plans. The 
Indians were soon seen to be increasingly insolent. Trouble was 
imminent. War broke out. Massacres along the coast were 
committed in large numbers. Another parley was held with the 
Kennebec Indians, this time at Ticonic. The Indians demanded 



^^ Winslotv. Maine. 



their arms saying they wished no part in the war then on, but 
were suffering from hick of food and had no means of procuring 
it without their guns and powder. The English refused this 
request. This was the "last straw" with the Indians and they 
joined the Androscoggins and other tribes and began pillaging up 
and down the valley. This lasted about three years. Then fol- 
lowed a treaty of peace which was welcomed by the Abenakis, 
who during the conflict had not been so cruel and barbarous as 
the Androscoggins and others, thanks to the influence and teach- 
ings of Father Druillette. In this treaty provisions were made 
by the English to protect the Indians of Maine from the tribes of 
the west. But this was simply a temporary settlement, a kind of 
truce. The two races Avere naturally repellaiit. 



THE SECOND INDIAN WAR. 

The second war in Maine was brought on by the troubles which 
had been long standing and the new complications made by the 
outbreak of war between the English and French— King Wil- 
liam's War— in 1688. The French used the Indians always to 
further their political ends, and this case was no exception. The 
Indians of the whole State were soon on the warpath and de- 
struction of life and property was of daily and nightly occurrence. 

In the midst of this an event of great interest to the student of 
Indian history in Maine occurred. It was the coming of Father 
Sebastian Rasle to the Kennebec valley to re-establish a mission 
of the Catholic church. The advent of the missionary has always 



Winslow, Mame. 11 



been held to have been a part of the political plan of the French 
to hold their grasp on the Indians of this valley. 

Rasle came from St. Francis through the woods of the northern 
part of the state to the headwaters of the Kennebec, and reached 
Norridgewock, where he established his mission, in 1695. Here 
he drew the remaining famiUes of the tribes of this section of 
the State. He re-opened the religious work of Druillette and the 
history of his mission is the history of the Abenakis tribe from 
that time till it left the waters of the Kennebec. 

Whatever may have been the part Rasle played in the conflict 
he found in progress we know not. It was probably in behalf of 
peace. Soon after his arrival the Kennebec Indians sued for 
peace, through their chief, Bomaseen, and others. Those on the 
Kennebec were willing to see the war close but the F'rench allies 
were not and so the war again broke out. New disasters occured. 
The English blamed Bomaseen and he was taken prisoner and 
lodged first in Fort William Henry at Pemaquid, and later at 
Boston. The Norridgewocks resumed the warpath. For tw^o 
years the war raged. Another treaty was made in 1699. Bom- 
aseen was released. 

This was also simply a truce. When Queen Anne was crowned 
in 1702, she declared war against France. This was sure to pro- 
duce war on the western continent, and in this State as she 
asserted her control of Acadia. A conference between the Eng- 
lish and the Indians of Maine was held because of the warlike 
premonitions. It was to re-affirm the treaty last made, and to 
preserve peace. It was held at Casco — now Portland — and was 
attended by Bomaseen, Moxus, and Captain Sam, chiefs from 



12 Winslotc, Maine. 



Kennebec. Father Rasle was also in attendance. The treaty 
was signed, but could not be kept in good faith. War was soon 
on again and though the Abenakis did not join as a body some of 
their warriors are supposed to have been concerned in the con- 
ilict. The treaty of Utrecht— 1713— ended the war for a time. 

The fourth Indian war in Maine is particularly interesting as it 
was the conflict which ended with the death of P'ather Rasle at 
Norridgewock. Though it was due in a general way to the same 
causes as the other conflicts there were other circumstances con- 
nected. One of these was that the people of the State and all 
New England felt that with the peaee of Utrecht the end of 
Indian troubles had come. They were flocking to their former 
colonial homes. They were taking up new claims granted them 
by the different companies, and by the State. In some cases no 
doubt they took up land which no one had given them the right 
to take. This soon led to friction between the English and the 
Indians. The English were aware that many of the deeds of the 
lands which they had bought with a few dollars worth of whiskey 
and tobacco of the most worthless Indians were really of no 
value, were the cases to be tried in a court of justice. They 
however claimed that these deeds given in a drunk, perhaps, and 
by a sagamore who had no tribe at all to represent were abso- 
lutely binding and that they must enforce them. But they did 
not like the Indian's method of taking his revenge for wrongs, 
either real or fancied, so it was concluded to call a general con- 
ference of the tribes in Maine and the officials of the State to be 
held at Arrowsic in the summer of 1717. 

The Indians came in large numbers and also the Governor of 



Winslotv, Maine. 13 

the State and other officials. The parley opened very pleasantly 
but a discussion of the ownership of the land was brought on 
and the conference was broken up by the Indians leaving the 
council tent. Father Rasle was the friend and counsellor of the 
redmen and well did he use the means at hand. The conference 
was re-opened the following day but an agreement was practi- 
cally forced upon the Indians in such terras as the governor was 
pleased to decide upon. From this time on the advance of the 
whites was made with confidence. The Indians watched the 
felling of the forests, the building of the forts, and the stamped- 
ing of their game in sullen silence. Rasle labored indefatigably 
to save to his people these lands. He interested the people of 
Canada and other tribes. Soon notice was given at Arrowsic 
that unless the whites retired from the lands they had usurped, 
war would be opened upon them. This notice when sent to 
Boston brought prompt action on the part of the government. 
Troops were ordered to the scene prepared to punish the rebels. 
Rasle was considered by the English to be at the bottom of all 
the trouble. A reward for his capture was offered. An expedi- 
tion for his capture was organized and started direct for Nor- 
ridgewock. It was unsuccessful, but came near being otherwise. 
Rasle was in hiding in the forest, but his dwelling was entered 
and his library and other belongings, left in his hasty flight, were 
burned. 

This attempt was viewed by the Indians as a full and sufficient 
reason for war. All the other tribes felt that this outrage must be 
avenged, and prepared to do each its part in seeing that justice 
should be done. Not long after the burning of the Chapel 



14 Winsloic, Maine. 



at Norridgewock the Indians fell upon the settlements and again 
the woods of the Pine Tree State rang with the whoops of the 
savage, mingled with the death cries of their victims. The 
English decided upon another attempt to capture Rasle. Captain 
Moulton, with a picked ])arty, ascended the river to Norridge- 
wock, but found the village deserted, Rasle, aware that a reward 
was offered by the government for his head had taken himself 
and his followers to a safer i)lace. This time no destruction of 
property was attenijjted. This was the third attempt to take 
Rasle either dead or alive, the second being only a short time 
before the one just mentioned. 

The war continued with dreadful destruction. Men, women 
and children were killed at all points in Maine by the Indians. 
Whole settlements were wiped out in a single day or night. The 
whole section was terrorized. The English were now led to make 
another attempt to slay Rasle, whom they considered to blame 
for all this disaster. Captain Moulton accompanied by Captain 
Harmon with a goodly company of troops set out once more for 
the beautiful village on the banks of the Kennebec. This ex- 
pedition was attempted in the summer time, as the others which 
had been all unsuccessful had been such largely because of the 
snow. The troops started in whale boats on the 19th of August, 
1724, and reached Ticonic on the day following. On the 2l8t 
the troops marched toward Norridgewock. Before night the 
force came upon a party of three persons near where the village 
of South Norridgewock stands to-day. The two women were 
shot. The father, fleet-footed, ran swiftly through the forrest to 
carry warning to the village above. He was overtaken, however,

by the bullets of his pursurers as he attempted to cross the river 
at a fording place. The victim was Bomaseen of whom we have 
made mention before. 

We are unable to state with any certainty the details of the 
advance uj)on the village. It has been handed down that the 
]»arty crossed the river M'here the cliief had fallen and marched 
to the high land a mile or two from the river where they could 
overlook the village and decide upon plans for its destruction. 
The forces were divided. Harmon led a company toward a place 
where it was fancied a camp might be as a smoke could be seen 
winding from the forest. Moulton advanced upon the village 
with the other force. Leaving two parties in ambush he took the 
remainder and charged upon the huts. The village was at once 
in a panic. No organized resistance was made. The Indians 
were shot down in cold blood either by the attacking party or by 
those in ambush. Rasle was seen issuing forth from a cabin in 
his priestly garments and was instantly riddled with bullets. He 
fell at the foot of the cross he had erected with his own hands. 
He was surrounded by his faithful neophytes, seven of whom fell 
by his side. Thirty Indians were dead and half as many more 
were hobbling into the woods wounded. Not one of the assail- 
ants was hurt, save one of the Mohawks who had accompanied 
the party. 

The purpose of the expedition was accomplished. The Eng- 
lish destroyed the village, scalped Father Rasle and the other 
victims and wended their way down the river. This cruel mur- 
der has since it was committed ever been remembered in history 
and in local traditions. The grave of Rasle is marked by a 



16 Winslow, 3faine. 

monument. He will always be remembered as a man whose only 
offense was devotion to the people he served, and constancy 
to his vows. Rasle's death ended the mission for some years. 
The larger number of the Indians who survived went to St. 
Francis. The war continued about a year after this incident, but 
the Abenakis had no part m the conflict after this time. Six 
years after Rasle's death the mission was re-established but only 
temporarily. 

Here practically ended the Indian wars of this valley. Other 
minor conflicts occurred after the above events but were of little 
importance.

EARLY SETTLERS AND SETTLEMENTS. 

In tracing the history of the town of Winslow we find that 
our task lies in tracing out the story of the settlement and devel- 
opment of the whole section along the banks of the Kennebec 
River, above Cushnoc, or Augusta as it was later called. When 
the white man first gained a knowledge of the territory of this 
region along the Kennebec the forest resounded only to the 
stealthy step of the redman, and the waters reflected only the 
rude, rough features of the child of nature as he bended over 
them to cast tlie rude imj dements of fishing or seek a draught to 
quench his thirst. For a long term of years after the first of the 
white men learned of the territory hereabout no progress or 
even attempts to settle were made. The strife that was waged 
between the white men and the Indians made the whole of this 
region the secure home of the latter for a long time. But with 
the advent of the trader came some small development of oppor- 
tunity to settle. From the 31st day of May, 1607, when the 
Popham expedition sailed from England to the mouth of the 
Kennebec and made preparations to establish there a colony, the 
fortunes of the Indian seemed to have been doomed. There were 
many long periods of doubt as to whether the territory of this 
region was to belong to France or England ; but there never was 
a time when there was any doubt that the Indian, sooner or later, 
must leave the scenes of his former domain. The French 



18 Winslow, 3Iaine. 

adopted methods which seem to have been well calculated to 
hold for a time the confidence and friendship of the redman, but 
their purpose was identical with that of the English and aimed at 
the control of the territory of the larger part of the whole 
North American Continent. While tlie French were aiming at 
the subjugation of the Indian by diplomacy and apparent friend- 
ship, the English were carrying on their old and well known plan 
of subjugation by the miglit of the sword. This policy entrusted 
to the adventurers whom they sent to establish their dominion, 
coupled with the deceit which was frequently practiced upon the 
Indian served only to make the English the more hated, and the 
French the more trusted. 

This condition led to strife which was destructive of life and 
property as well as of the advance of civilization. So long as 
the strife of arms contmued little or nothing was done for the 
betterment of the region of the Kennebec, AVhen the fort at 
Winslow, Fort Halifax, was built in 1754 there was a certain 
amount of protection for the settlers offered, and from this time 
there was something done toward settlement. But previous to 
this time the history of the section is a story of strife between 
the Indians and the English with the complications made by 
the French in addition. Briefly the events of most importance 
following the establishment of a colony at the mouth of the 
Kennebec by Popham in 1607, as above stated, are the following: 

The grant of territory known as the Plymouth or Kennebec 
Grant was made by the Plymouth Council on January 13' 
1629. This grant included all the territory on either side of the 
Kennebec river to the extent of fifteen miles from its banks, and 



Winsloio, Maine. 19 

extended from the vicinity of Topsham to the Wessarunsett 
river at Cornville. Following this grant there was erected a 
trading house "up above on ye river in ye most convenientest 
place for trade." This was undoubtedly at Cushnoc, or Augusta 
as it is now known. Not long after this, some six years, the 
Plymouth Council became disheartened and surrendered its 
charter to the King of England. Then by various acts and 
grants the King placed this and other territory, which included 
practically what is included in the present State of Maine, under 
tlie control of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. His domain was 
designated as the " Province of Maine." He sent his nephew, 
William Gorges, as Governor, and this gentleman established his 
capitol in Saco, and opened court there on March 28, 1636. 
As there were no settlements yet on the Kennebec, Gorges exer- 
cised no jurisdiction, but the Pilgrim Colony made a monopoly 
of the trade with the Indians. But the trade wdth the Indians 
became in time so scanty that it was leased in 1649 to five parties, 
William Bradford, Edward Winslow, Thomas Prince, Thomas 
Willett and William Paddy. The consideration was a small sum 
and the lease was to run three years. This lease was renewed 
till 1661 w^hen the patent was sold outright to Arteraas Boies, 
Edward Tyng, Thomas Brattle and John Winslow. 

One of the very first civil actions on the part of the people 
scattered along the Kennebec near its mouth, occurred on May 
23, 1654, when sixteen men assembled in compliance with an 
order from the General Court of Massachusetts to one Thomas 
Prince to "summon the citizens on the river Kennebec that they 
might take an oath of allegiance and arrange a judicial code." In 



^^ Winslow, Jraine. 

accordance with this order the sixteen men, mentioned above, 
assembled at the house of one Thomas Ashley near Merrymeeting 
Bay on the above date, and besides taking the oath, "jn-omulgated 
the first prohibitory law in the State of Maine." It provided for 
penalties for the selling of liquors to the Indians. 

We find that at the outbreak of King Phillip's War there were 
two men who had trading places at Waterville, Teconnet as it was 
then called. They were Messrs. Clark and Lake. In a short time 
the war assumed such proportions that the Maine Indians took 
part, and a large part of the traders about the vicinity of 
Arrowsic and at points further up the river were killed. This 
conflict and those which followed were so destructive that as late 
as 1749 there were only two families left on the river above 
Merrymeeting Bay. In 1749 nine of the heirs of the men who 
had bought the rights of the Plymouth Company in 16G1 met in 
Boston and organized and became incorporated in order to obtain 
their rights to the lands which had been bought by their ancestors, 
and to devise means to open the territory to settlement. In 1753 
the company petitioned Gov. Shirley of Massachussetts for the 
erection of a fort at Teconnet Falls. This was the beginning of 
the opening up of the whole of the Kennebec Valley to settle- 
ment. Teconnet was regarded as the stragetic point by both the 
English and the P'rench and by the Indians also who saw in this 
new move a thing dangerous to their interests. But their protest 
was in vain and the fort was erected. General Winslow was in 
charge of the eight hundred troops who accompanied Governor 
Shirley on this expedition. It was he who laid out the fort and 
had charge of the operations about the scene of the fortification. 



Winsloto^ 3/ai}ie. 21 

It took but a short time for these English to build five buildings 
about Fort Halifax. Soon a stockade eight hundred feet in 
length was put u[), cannon and rifles were brought up the river in 
scows, and a wheel road was cut through from Fort Weston at 
Cushnoc (Augusta). When the works were completed Governor 
Shirley inspected them and very highly complimented General 
Winslow and his men. Capt. Lithgow, who had been in com- 
mand of Fort Richmond, was assigned to the command of Fort 
Halifax, and was given a garrison of eighty men. We are in- 
formed that there was a whale boat express established between 
this place and Falmouth (Portland) which made the trip in 
twenty hours, a rate of speed considered rapid for those times. 

After the garrison was established at Fort Halifax it was soon 
learned that the Indians were determined to make trouble if 
possible. No man was safe if he ventured beyond the limits of 
the fortifications. Several were mortally wounded by the Indians. 
They continued to make trouble till the summer of 1757 when 
the last skirmish witli them occurred. It is recorded that Capt. 
Lithgow had noticed for a few days that there were rafts drifting 
down the river, and concluded that the Indians had used them to 
cross at some point above and come down in attack on the settle- 
ment. He sent a party of ten men down the river to give warn- 
ing of the impending danger. As these men were returning they 
were fired upon some ten miles below the fort, in the vicinity of 
Riverside, and two of the party were wounded. They returned 
the fire and continued the fight with such gallantry that the 
Indians fled after one had fallen, shot dead, and another wounded. 
The Indians carried away these two on their backs to prevent 



22 IVijisloic, Maine. 

tlieir being taken prisoners. The above skirmish occurred on 
May 18, 1757, and was the final sliot of the redman, as a tribe, 
in this region. 

The purpose of the fort was now rerlized. It was the key to 
the region of the Kennebec, and had unlocked the valley to the 
axe of the settler. It is of interest to note that the garrison was 
much reduced after a short time, and that the fort was dis- 
mantled after the close of the French and Indian War in 1763, 
When Arnold passed up the Kennebec on his expedition to 
Quebec the large house within the fort was used as a hotel. It 
was called "Fort House," This building was used afterward as 
a dwelling house, meeting house, town house and later as a danc- 
ing hall and finally as a home for the poor, A Mr. Thomas tore 
the building down in 1797 and used some of its timbers in the 
construction of the Halifax House. Capt. Lithgow remained at 
the fort for some time. He was engaged in trade at this point. 
He was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for 
Lincoln County as early as 1760. In 1772 he removed to George- 
town where he died in 1798 at the age of eighty-three. 

Abbott says in his history of Maine, " Winslow was incor- 
porated this year (1771) including the present town of Waterville. 
Here was the famous Teconnet of the Indians; and it was on this 
point, on the neck of land formed by the union of the Sebasti- 
cook and the Kennebec, that Fort Halifax was reared. As early 
as 1754, eleven families built their cabins at this frontier fort in 
the wilderness." The Rev. E. C. Whittemore, in writing on this 
point, says, "Abbott states that eleven families settled in Winslow 
in 1754, but, if so, they have left neither trace nor name." We 



Winslow, Maine. 23 

are inclined to believe that there were no permanent settlements 
on the banks of the Kennebec at this point till somewhat after 
this date. 

The flat land near Fort Halifax was cleared and cultivated in 
1764 by Morris Fling, who built a log hut, and was the first 
farmer in that vicinity. In 1766 the Plymouth Company issued 
a grant of land to several parties on several conditions, the most 
important being that the grantees must have fifty settlers on the 
land within four years' time. At the expiration of the time it 
was found that there were established on the territory the required 
number of settlers. This was the first endeavor to settle the 
territory about Ticonic Falls. The present town of Winslow is 
that part of the original town lying east of the Kennebec. This 
town, whose Indian name was Ticonic and whose plantation 
name was Kingfield, had the distinction of being one of the first 
four towns incorporated in Kennebec Coant3^ It was named for 
General John Winslow, and when incorporated, April 2G, 1771, 
included what is now Waterville and Oakland. We are unable 
to give the settlers in the order of their arrival which seems 
unnecessary since tliey came at nearly the same time. We learn 
that those who settled on the river road south of the Sebasticook 
were : Nathan Taylor, Mordecai Blackwell, Captain Timothy 
Hale, Hezekiah Stratton, John Flye, Levi Richardson, Captain 
Wood, Joseph Wheelwright, David Hutchinson, Manuel Smith, 
Clark Drummond, Daniel Hayden, Esquire Swan, Francis Dudley, 
Daniel Spring, Ezekiel Pattee, Ambrose Howard, Samuel Pattee, 
John Drummond, Joshua Cushman, Franklin Dunbar, Charles 
Drummond, and Esquh"e Thomas Rice.

INCORPORATION AND TOWN OFFICIALS. 

We have traced the different circumstances of the settlement 
of the territory of Winslow and have shown as well aa the 
records will allow, the nature of the struggle of the white man 
to build, from the forest, the community of civilization. It will 
next be our task to make mention of the efforts of these early 
comers to mould this backwoods settlement into a municipality 
with codes of law and oflBcials to preserve the observance of the 
sam^; and later to note the changes made from time to time in 
the civil organization for the control and convenience of the 
territory of the region round about. 

We learn that the people who braved the dangers of the 
forest to locate here in the early years following j the building 
of Fort Halifax, styled the settlement Kingfield. We have no 
records to state that there was any organized plantation in this 
territory which was known by this name. By this name, till 
1771, the whole of the territory of Waterville, Winslow and 
Oakland was known. In that year the town of Winslow was 
organized, and the name of Kingfield was no longer connected 
with this region. The date of the incorporation was April 26th 
of the above year. The town of Winslow thus had the honor 
of being the fourth town organized within the limits of the 
County of Kennebec. The town was named for General John 
Winslow whose name appeared in the previous chapter. The 



26 Winslow, Maine. 

first town meeting was held on May 23d of the same year, and 
the place of meeting was Fort Halifax. The warrant directed 
the opening honr to be eight o'clock, A. M. Lieut. Timothy 
Heald was chosen moderator; Ezekiel Pattee, town clerk and 
treasurer; Ezekiel Pattee, Timothy Heald, and John Tozer, 
selectmen; Robert Crosby, John Peter Cool and Nathaniel 
Carter, wardens; Francis Dudley, Joel Crosby, and John Ayer, 
surveyors of highways; and Jonas Crosby, fence viewer. This 
warrant was dated "within the County of Lincoln" and called 
in "His Majesty's Name." 

From 1771 down to the beginning of the 19th century the 
town of Winslow gradually became prosperous, slowly but 
surely improved the natural advantages which it possessed, 
and became one of the leading towns on the river. It per- 
formed its part in civil and military matters with promptitude 
and patriotism. The western part, in which we are most in- 
terested, was all this time growing to a more and more com- 
manding and influential standing in the town. Religious ser- 
vices were being held in this section, and steps were being 
taken which were later to lead to the building of a town at this 
point. 

Toward the close of the 18th century the people of this sec- 
tion were forced to pass judgment upon several questions of 
separation. The matter of separation of the District of Maine 
from the State of Massachusetts had been voted on favorably 
from time to time. The question of the erection of a new 
county, within the territory- of the county of Lincoln, arose about 



Wi7isloic, Maine. 27 

this time, and the division took place February 20, 1799. An- 
other division which was of more vital importance to the peo- 
ple of this section was the proposed division of the town of 
Winslow. This matter, after sotne agitation, was passed upon 
by the town voting on December 28, 1801 "To petition the 
General Court to set off that part of the town which lieth on 
the westerly side of the Kennebec river and to incorporate it 
into a separate town." 

A committee of five was appointed to prepare the petition in 
due form. This committee was as follows: Reuben Kidder, 
Thomas Rice, Josiah Hayden, Nehemiah G. Parker and Asa 
Soule. The petition which they prepared and which was 
granted by the General Court of Massachusetts, and which sets 
forth the reasons for the division then proposed is in the fol- 
lowing form: 

PETITION FOR DIVISION. 

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representa- 
tives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in General 
Court Assembled : 

The Petition of the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the 
town of Winglow, in the County of Kennebeck, being 
a committee chosen by said Town in Town meeting as- 
sembled, humbly Report to your Honours that it is the 
wish of Inhabitants of said Town that the territory 
lying on the Westerly side of said River, in the said 
Town as it is now bounded, should be set of^ from said 



28 Winslow, Maine. 

Town by the name of Waterville. Your Petitioners 

would in behalf of said Town beg leave to offer to 

your Honors the following reasons: 

That the value of the property now owned in said 

Town is nearly equally divided on each side of said 
river; 

That the Town and religious meetings in said town 
are held alternately in the meeting houses now erected 
on each side of said River, and that in several parts of 
the years it is very difficult and almost impossible to 
cross said River to attend said meetings; 

That in the spring season, at the annual meetings 
held in said Town, the Inhabitants thereof living on 
the opposite side from where the said meeting is to be 
held, are frequently prevented by the particular situa- 
tion of said River from crossing the same to attend 
said meeting; 

That said River near by divides said Town of Wins- 
low in equal halves; 

Wherefore your Petitioners in behalf of said Town 
humbly pray that said territory may be set off and as 
in duty bound will ever pray.

MILITARY MATTERS. 

The town of Winslow has a story in history very highly 
pictured with the military side of life. The town's first comers 
of any considerable number were men who bore upon their 



Wmsloiv Maine. 35 

shoulders muskets and who were bent upon measures of vast 
military importance. This was the building of Fort Halifax in 
1754 by Governor Shirley under the direction of Gen. John 
Winslow. The structure was located on a fork of land formed 
by the Kennebec and Sebasticook, the latter emptying into the 
former about three-fourths of a mile from Taconnett Falls. 
The purpose of this military move was to command a position 
of sufficient military importance to impose a check on the Indians 
and French in any operations on the river. The fort was of 
the following dimensions: 100 feet long, 32 feet wide and 16 
feet high. 

About the fort now standing were several other redoubts so 
arranged as to present a thorough protection against an enemy. 
The fort was named in honor of the Earl of Halifax, then Sec- 
retary of state for the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1763 the 
fort was dismantled. 

At the time of Arnolds' expedition in 1775, the large house 
withm the tort was used as a tavern, "Fort House." After- 
wards it was used as a dwelling house, meeting house, town 
hall, where all the earlier town meetings of Winslow were held 
a hall for public dancing pai'ties, finally a home for poor fami- 
lies until it was taken down by Mr. Thomas and some of its 
material used in the construction of the Halifax House in 1797. 
Col. Lithgow was engaged m trade at the fort for several years. 
In 1760 he was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas 
for Lincoln county, the first magistrate on the Kennebec above 
pownalboro, and was continued by the American Government. 



86 Winslow, Maine. 

Before 1772, he retired to Georgetown to the Noble farm, 
which was his wife's inheritance, and died there in 1798 at the 
age of eighty-three. 

If one thing more than another is to be revered, and com- 
memorated, impressed upon the minds of the rising generation, 
that thing is the records of names and deeds of men who faced 
the dangers of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of the 
country. Time rolls on and we are apt to forget the value of 
the service rendered by the soldier in war. Each succeeding 
generation is more forgetful of these things than its predecessor, 
unless it is taught to revere and love the memory of the deeds 
of the soldier. It should be in the mind of each father and 
each mother to instill into the mind of the youth the significance 
of the inscriptions, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wounded at 
Vicksburg," "Died in Libby Prison," etc. No one should lose 
the opportunity to impress upon the generation to which he 
belongs and the one which follows, the responsibility which 
rests upon each man. In the Revolution, Winslow's part was 
limited as she was scarcely settled. However, her citizens, 
though sorely pressed for the necessities of life made some 
small provision for the fulfilling of their duty in the struggle for 
independence. In 1782 Jonah Crosby and two others were 
voted a committee to hire "tow" men to serve two years or 
during the war in the Continental army. 

On the top of the hill not far from the soldier's monument, 
or in General Winslow's words: "standing east IG 1-2 degrees, 
north 61 1-2 rods"from Fort Halifax, stood an additional redoubt 



Winsloiv, Maine. 37 

erected to prevent any surprise. It was armed with a twelve 
pound howitzer which was fired every morning by the soldiers 
while they remained and by the citizens on special occasione. 
As is mentioned elsewhere the building of these fortifications 
was viewed with a great deal of disapproval by the Indians 
and French, One by one, and we have mentioned only a part 
of them, these block houses were destroyed or moved away 
until today the only one remaining is Fort Halifax on the 
neck of land by the Sebasticook's mouth. It is in a remarkably 
good state of preservation, sits on land whose owner no one 
knows, and stands the last of its kind and period in old New 
England once so thoroughly dotted with those structures. 

The following shows Winslow's representation in the war of 
1812: Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Moore commanded the 3d 
Regiment, 2d Brigade, 8th Division of Maine militia in ser- 
vice in 1814, at Wiscasset. The officers from Kennebec county 
were: Herbert Moore, Winslow, lieutenant colonel; Nathan 
Stanley and Daniel Stevens, China, majors; Whiting Robinson, 
Clinton, surgeon's mate; Charles McFadden, Vasaalboro, pay- 
master; and Joseph Clark, Clinton, adjutant. 

Winslow had a company in Moore's regiment and its com- 
missioned officers were: James L. Child, captain; Washington 
Heald, lieutenant; William Getchell, ensign. The other officers 
were: William Harvey, James Heald, Joel Crosby, Abraham 
Bean, sergeants; Alvin Blackwell, Richard V. Hayden, Simeon 
Heald and Elisha Ellis, corporals. 

Thu privates numbered thirty-eight men.

MANUFACTURING. 

The first saw mill in Winslow probably had a grist mill for 
a running mate, built at the same time, and quite likely under 
the same roof. The mills were built before 1770 and, in the 
opinion of Mr. E. A, Paine, at the expense of the Kennebec 
proprietors, to encourage the settlers and induce more to come. 
The builder was Benjamin Runnels, then living at Pownalboro, 
who was a soldier in the Revolutionary war; being a blacksmith 
he helped forge the chain that kept the British from going up 
the Hudson river. In 1778 he moved to Wiuslow — was a 
farmer, trader, lumberman and speculator, and a representative 
to the general court. The next mill on thig stream was situated 
about twenty rods above and was owned by the Norcross family, 
who probably built it. David Garland, who worked in it in 
1819, said there were ruins of a double mill a few rods below — 
undoubtedly the old proprietors' mill, built a half century be- 
fore. Franklin Hayden moved the Norcross mill a few rods

further up the stream, in which he fell and lost his life on 
election day in 1840. He was to have been married that same 
evening. His brother, Thomas, took the mill after his death. 
It was in use till near 1880. Following this stream up three- 
fourths of a mile we come to a saw mill built by Major Josiah 
Hay den nearly (fne hundred years ago. In 1822 he bought a 
grist mill of John Drummond and moved it close to the side of 
his saw mill. His son Thomas J. Hayden succeeded to the 
property and placed in the upper story a grain thresher 
and separator that were worn out and have been replaced with 
better ones. The grist mill originally had two runs of 
stones, one of which has been taken out. This mill property 
has always remained in the family, being owned and managed 
later by W. Vinal Hayden, a grandson of the builder. On the 
opposite side of the Hayden mill pond is a fine bed of clay. 
About seventy-five years ago William Hussey and Ambrose 
Bruce built a factory on this dam and established a pottery that 
became quite famous. Mr. Hussey was something of an artist 
in his line and manufactured a variety of earthen ware. Most 
of the milk pans then used by the house-wives in this section 
were his handiwork. His goods were in great demand. He 
would make up a hundred dollars worth and have a good time 
on the proceeds before making another batch. Too fond of 
convivial enjoyments, a business that might have been largely 
increased was allowed to decline and finally collapse. On the 
same stream a few miles below, John Getchell built in 1791, 
and for years ran a saw mill on the west side where the woolen 



42 Winsloiv, Maine. 

mill now is. Between 1820 and 1830 a company composed of 
Joseph Soiitliwick, I lowland, Pruden and Moses Taber, built a 
hemp mill on the east side of the stream and distributed seed 
among the farmers. Hemp was grown, but its manufacture 
did not pay. About 1830 Church and William Bassett, from 
Bridgewater, Mass., bouglit this pioperty and made shingles 
and barrel staves and put in carding machines. Church bought 
his brother out and soon started a woolen mill. He sold a part 
of his power to Wilber, who made shingles and had a 

grain thresher and separator. Farming was profitable. Bassett 
also had a threshing machine and competition was brisk. The 
saw mill burned in 1846. In 1851 Edmund GetcAell and his 
sons, Ira E. and Leonard, bought one-fourth of the water 
privilege on the west side and built a shop in which for fifteen 
years they made shingles and did wood working of various 
kinds, making large lots of spade handles for gold diggers' use 
in California. In 1857 John D. Lang, Henry W., Theodore 
W. and Charles A. Prie^t bought the east side privilege and 
built a grist mill, and changed the Avoolen mill into a shoe peg 
manufactory. To the latter business Charles A. Priest turned 
his entire attention, inventing a machine for cutting shoe pegs 
that made him independent of a patent that had monopolized 
the cutting of these wooden nails for years. His trade extended 
to Liverpool, England, where one firm took 1,000 barrels of 
pegs a year at sixty cents a bushel. A fire in 1865 burned all 
buildings on the east side. The Priest brothers then sold the 
grist mill privilege to John D. Lang, who then built the present 



Winslow, Maine. 43 

mill. Charles A. Priest rebuilt his peg mill and continued that 
business till they were no longer used in large quantities. He 
now uses the building for a job shop in wood or iron work. 
About 1880 Mr. Priest anil Charles A. Drumuiond bought the 
grist mill of Mr. Lang, and Albert Cook built the shoddy mill 
now run by Cook & Jepsoii. Early in the present century 
John Drummond built on the brook that has since been called 
by his name, near the river road, a grist mill, in which were 
two runs of stones. This mill was operated by him in 1822, 
when he sold it to Major Josiah Hayden, and built a saw mill 
in its place. The stream, never large or constant, became much 
smaller as the forests were cut off, until it failed to furnish 
water enough to run the mill with any profit, after about 1840. 
Frederick Paine had a plaster mill on Clover brook that did 
business from 1820 to 1870. On the stream running from Mud 
to Pattee pond, John Getchell built a saw mill before 1795. 
Isaac Dow afterwards repaired it and made shingles there. One- 
half mile below on the same stream was Alden's saw mill, which 
ran down and was rebuilt by Esquire Brackett, who lost his 
life in it in 1840, by a blow from the saw frame. John Brimmer 
sawed lumber in it for years, after which shingles were made 
there until about 1870. Ezra Crosby built, in 1807, a saw mill 
on the Wilson stream three miles from the river. After opera- 
ting it several years, he sold it to Ephraim Wilson, who sawed 
lumber thirty years an'l sold it to Amos Foss. At the mouth 
of the Pattee stream on the bank of the Sebasticook, Stephen 
Crosby, in 1780, built and operated a saw mill and a grist mill. 



44 Winsloiv, Maine. 



They were worn out before 1830. Joel Larned built the next 
«aw mill and ran it twenty-five years. About 1845 Zimri Hay- 
wood built, on the same dam, a plaster mill, grinding Nova 
Scotia stone brought up the river on the old fashioned long boats. 
No plaster was ground after about 1870. Abijah Crosby then 
bought the property and put in a shingle mill. Fred Lancaster 
and Charles Drake, later proprietors, bought the property 
next, and put a circular saw in the mill, which is one of the few 
now running in town. 

Ebenezer Heald was granted 800 acres of land in Winslow 
in 1790. Soon after this he built a saw mill and a grist mill on 
Bog brook, both of which mills served their day and generation 
and peacefully passed away before 1810. Jefferson Hinds built 
a second grist mill there, in which John Nelson put a shingle 
machine. The whole establishment broke camp in the flood of 
1832. Just above, on the same stream, Asher Hinds and Thomas 
Smiley built a double saw mill that worked its life away for 
its owners. Their sons replaced it with a new mill, that had 
passed its prime when the freshet of 1882 induced it to retire 
from business, and it has no successor. The large steam saw 
mill, built by Edward Ware in 1890, stands on the historic 
grounds of Fort Point. These premises, which were leased of 
the Lockwood Company, mclude the larger part of the palisade 
enclosure of old Fort Halifax. The main building over 300 
feet long, is filled with all modern appliances for cutting lumber. 
An engine of 300 horse power, and the labor of sixty-five men 
out nearly a million feet of lumber per month for eight

montha of the year, besides about 8,000,000 each of shingles 
and laths. This immense output is mostly dimension lumber 
for the Boston markets, and is made from logs floated from the 
timber sections of the upper Kennebec. The largest pulp and 
paper mill in Kennebec county has been built in Winslow by 
the Hollingsworth & Whitney Company, on the east bank 
of the Kennebec, at a cost of three-quarters of a million 
dollars. For this purpose sixty acres of land, extending 
three-fourths of a mile along the river, were purchased of the 
Lockwood Company. An immense dam was thrown across 
the river at the north end of the property, and a channel 
dug around it that transformed the entire purchase into an 
island. The buildings are about 800 feet long, requiring in 
their construction 15,000 cubic yards of solid stone masonry, 
and 2,500,000 brick. Machines of the largest capacity, making 
paper 134 inches wide, are used. This mill, combining every 
modern appliance, converts into pulp, logs containing 6,000,000 
feet of lumber per year, from which twenty-four tons of manilla 
paper is manufactured each day. Good clay for making brick 
may be found in many places in Winslow. Reuben Simpson 
made brick near the river two miles above Ticonic Falls 
for the brick house now standing there, over one hundred 
years ago. John Jackson made brick on the farm now 
owned by Ira Getchell in 1823, and Edmund Getchell made 
brick near North Vassalboro from 1845 to 1855. Stephen 
Abbott made brick near his house and in 1826 Williams 
Bassett made brick on the Hampden Keith place, and another

yard was in operation fifty years ago, east of the burying 
ground near the river. About 1872 Norton & Leavett opened 
a clay bed on the bank of the river, near the east end of the 
bridge, in which were made the brick for the Lockwood mills 
a year or two later. In 1873 Mr. Carter opened the present 
Purington yard, and made brick till Norton & Leavett bought 
him out in 1875. J. P. Norton bought Mr. Leavett's interest 
in 1877 and the next year he sold one half to Horace Purington, 
and Norton & Purington made bi'ick and took building 
contracts for ten years. Indications of tin ore were noticed by 
Charles Chipman in the appearance of stone scattered along a 
brook on J. 11. Chaffee's farm about 1870. Daniel Moore, Doctor 
Salmon of ljoston,Mr.Chipman, Thomas Lang of Vassalboro,and 
others, investigated and believed the ore could be found by 
mining. A company was formed that sunk a shaft 100 feet or 
more in the rock. The amount of tin found increased as the 
shaft went down, but the quantity did not pay expenses. Work 
was suspended about twenty-two years ago, and has not been 
resumed. 

The most important industry of recent years in Winslow is 
the ground wood mill, "Pulp Mill," of the IloUingsworth and 
Whitney Company. This concern began operations in Winslow 
in 1892 by building a magnificent plant on the "Island" opposite 
Colby College. This concern has made additions to its plant till 
its employees number about 700 men, and its pay roll is about 
$30,000 a month.

CHURCH ACCOUNT. 

Ag we have looked over the account of the churches in 
Winslow we have come to the conclusion that no better account 
of this portion of Winslow's past can be presented than is 
contained in Mr. Kingsbury's notes on her churches. We have 
therefore concluded to give it verbatim and accord credit for 
same to the author. The account follows: 

CHURCHES. 

The religious history of Winslow begins with some stray 
records that are of early date and of decided interest. Rev. 
John Murray, a noted Congregational clergyman of Boothbay, 
held a religious service in Fort Halifax July 3, 1773, on which 
occasion he baptised three of Dr. John McKechnie's children. 
Rev. Jacob Bailey, the zealous Episcopalian, also held a few 
services at Fort Halifax in 1773 — 4. At its annual meeting in 
1773 the town voted to hire Deliverance Smith to preach twelve 
Sundays in that year. No regular preaching was provided. 
1772, "Voted to hire one month's preaching this year"; 1775, 
"Voted not to hire preaching;" 1778, "Voted to hire preach- 
ing." Roman Catholic services were held, according to Mrs. 
Freeman's account, among the Indians, right after the war, by 
Juniper Berthune, a French Catholic priest, who had what she 
calls a mass house at the point where the mile brook enters the 
Sebasticook. The Indians, six of whom acted as his body

guard, were very much attached to him, and were most obedi- 
ent to his commands. The next recognized religious meeting 
was twenty years later, when Jesse Lee preached in Winslow, 
March 9, 1794 — probably in the fort, as no meeting house had 
yet been built in the town. The town meeting of 1793 voted 
to hold preaching meetings alternately on the east and west 
sides of the river. September 5, 1794 the town voted "to hire 
Joshua Cushman to settle as a religious instructor and to give 
£110 a year so long as he shall remain our instructor." The 
first general church committee, appointed at a regular town 
meeting were: James Stackpole, Ezekiel Pattee, Arthur Lith- 
gow, Abraham Lander, Jonah Crosby, Benjamin Chase, Zimri 
Haywood, Asa Redington, George Warren, Timothy Heald, 
Ephraim Town, Solomon Parker, Nathaniel Low, Josiah Hay- 
den, James McKechnie, David Pattee, John Pierce, Joseph 
Cragin, Elnathan Sherwin and Benjamin Runnels. This com- 
mittee had charge of the ordination services of Mr. Cushman, 
which were held June 10, 1795, in a huge evergreen bower, 
supported by twenty pillars, erected for the purpose on "The 
Plains," as the point of land near the fort was then called. It 
was a notable occasion. Churches from ten localities were repre- 
sented here by their pastors and many of their people. The 
town voted in 1794 to build a meeting house on the east side of 
the river, which was so far completed as to be used for the 
town meeting in the spring of 1797. It has been used for re- 
ligious meetings from that day to this, of which it has undoubt- 
edly had a greater number within its walls than any other 



WinshWy Maine. 49 

meeting house in Kennebec county. 

The Methodist meeting house at East Readfield is a year 
older, but has had a great many idle years, while there is no 
evidence that this venerable house has had a single one. After 
his ordination, Mr. Cushman continued to preach to the Chris- 
tian Society of Winslow about twenty years. The articles of 
faith are probably the most liberal in their wording and chari- 
table in their spirit of any religious society in Maine of an 
equal date. Mr. Cushram was nominally a Congregationalist 
when ordained, but knowing that his society had adopted a 
Unitarian platform he did not hesitate to preach that doctrine. 
Dissatisfaction gradually ensued and the town paid him $1,200 in 
1814 to be released from the old religious instructor contract. The 
Congregational Church of Winslow was organized August 27, 
1828, in the schoolhouse, with a constituency of twenty-nine 
members. The first meeting at which was the ordination of 
William May as pastor, was held in the town meeting house. 
Some of the prominent members of the early years of the church 
were: Deacon Peter Talbot, Frederick Paine, Leprelit Wil- 
mouth and Jonathan Garland and their wives; Thomas Rice, 
Robert R. Drumraond, Deacon Edmund Getchell, Samuel 
Sewall, Richard Patterson, John W. Drummond, David Pat- 
terson and Timothy O. Paine. 

The old town meeting house built in 1795, was" reseated and 
crowned with a steeple in 1830, and received its first coat of 
paint in 1836. The inside was remodeled in 1852, the steeple 
was reduced to the present belfry in 1884 and in 1888 the

present arrangements in the audience room were perfected. 
This is the oldest meeting house now in regular use in Kennebec 
county, and the only one built at town expense, and still used 
for church purposes. Methodists and Free Baptists, about 1829 
united in building the Union meeting house still standing on 
the river road, a half mile from the Vassalboro line. Previous 
to this a Methodist church had been formed by David Hutchin- 
son, a resident minister: John Fly, class leader; Charles Hayden, 
the surveyor; Clark Drummond, William Alvin and Franklin 
Blackwell and others. The exact succession and dates of the 
following pastors are not in the Winslow records — the names 
are: J. B. Rusted, Daniel B. Randall, O. Bent, E. B. Fletcher, 
James Twing, J. Farrington, Sullivan Bray, George Winslow? 
Luther P. French, Henry Latham, Caleb Mugford, S. W. Pierce, 
George Strout, J. G. Pingree, Henry True, B. M. Mitchell, D. 
I. Staples, Elisha Chenery, L. C. Dunn, D. P. Thompson, 
Nathan Webb, D. M. True, Phineas Higgins, S. L. Hanscom, 
Martin Ward, who died here in 1843; David Smith, Charles 
Browning, R. Bryant, Samuel Ambrose, M. R. Clough, Jesse 
Harriman, T, Moore, J. C. Murch, B. F. Sprague, died here in 
1860: Josiah Bean and J. R. Clifford, who, about 1884, was the 
last. Since then no regular services have been held in the old 
meeting house. This society was so strong that in 1834 it 
built a parsonage, Amos Taylor, Nathaniel Doe and C. Mc- 
Fadden were leading Baptists, and Elder Farwell and D. B. 
Lewis were early preachers. 

The First Baptist Church of Winslow was organized at the 



Winslow, Maine. 51 

house of Jonas Hamlin, June 1, 1837. For ten years previous 
there had been occasional preaching by Elders Webber, King, 
Procter, Bartlett, Copeland and Knox. Since then Elders 

Arnold, Palmer, Ephraira Emery, Zachariah Morton, 

Atwood, J. V. Tarbor, E. S. Fish, A. J, Nelson, Doctor Butler, 

I. E. Bill, E. C. Stover, Ira Emery, W. P. Palmer, 

Dore, N. G. Curtiss and A. R. McDougall have been pastors. 
The Deacons have been: Joseph Taylor, Ambrose Palmer, 
Leonard Motley, Ebenezer Abbott, D. F. Gupiill and Horace 
Coleman. 

The present meeting house was built in 1850 and has been 
kept in good repair. The Methodist church in the eastern part 
of Winslow was organized at the house of Stephen Abbott, 
who was the first class leader. Seth and Nathan Wentworth, 
John Brown, Barnum Hodges, Joseph Watson and Scruton 
Abbott were some of the first members. In 1851 the 

society built a meeting house in which no regular services are 
now held. The following is a partial list of preachers who 
have labored on this charge: Elders William True, Sullivan 
Bray, Crawford, Crosby, Bessey, Martin Ward, Hutchinson, 
Jones, Fletcher, Phenix, Batchelder, Louis Wentworth in 1860, 
Josiah Bean, and W. B. Jackson in 1875.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES. 

The town of Wiuslow while uot a seat of learning contain- 
ing institutions of higher education, has done her part toward 
preparing the youth of the town for their future work. In 
common with so many other towns her efforts have been di- 
rected in behalf of her common schools throughout the greater 
part of her history, for only of recent date is lier high school. 

We cannot do better than to cast a glance toward the typical 
common school as known in Maine in the early days. Even as 
soon as our forefathers, almost invariably of Puritan extraction 
had located themselves in the forests of the Pine Tree State 
and began their efforts of erecting churches, they made pro- 
vision for the common school. They in common with us of to- 
day considered education the bulwark of our institutions, the 
institutions for the establishment of which they had fought and 
bled. They knew therefore better than we how much depended 
upon the proper guidance of the newly established government. 
They saw their liberties and property, we had almost said 
wrapt up in the future of the new government which 
Washington had said was "one today and thirteen tomorrow." 
Is it a strange thing that these people who so well understood 
the significance uf these trying years, should so thoroughly 
grasp the fact that in the education of the masses lay 
their only hope of ultimate success? No, they saw well 
their duty and as pioneers prepared to meet it. A room 



Winslow^ Maine. 53 

in the little log cabin became the university of the wilder- 
ness and humble as was this first effort, mighty results 
came from it. From out of these rough, low-roofed 
structures walked men who were yet to meet the representatives 
of the courts of Europe, in the battlefield, in diplomacy, and in 
scores of other capacities from which they emerged unscathed. 
This system of education went on till it almost became a necessary 
thing for a man to reach the president's chair that he be able 
to present a career begifn in "The Little Red Schoolhouse" in 
the backwoods hamlet. It was not that the people loved wealth 
and culture the less, but they loved the more the homely vir- 
tues inspired by the healthy atmosphere of the country. And 
as we look back today over the progress of our school system 
we dwell with pride upon the record it has made. But this 
system like all others was expected to advance and it has ad- 
vanced. The town of Winslow has in common with other 
towns reared the homely structures on the hillsides and at the 
cross roads, hired male teachers at $10 to $15 a month, the 
female teachers at 75 cents to $1.50 a week and this with the 
"Board Round" provision. So far as we know the first effort 
made by Winslow as a town was in March, 1787, when it was 
voted to allow Capt. Zimri Haywood four pounds, eight shil- 
lings and six pence for paying and boarding a schoolmaster 
one month. For three years after this no money was voted. 
In 1791 fifty pounds was voted to support schools. At this 
time many of the leading citizens supported private schools. 
One Abijah Smith is recorded as one of the private teachers 



54 Winslow^ Maine. 

whose services were thus engaged. He was paid |20 per month. 
He it was who wrote the early records of Waterville and they 
are found to be most excellent in neatness and penmanship. 
In March, 1796, six years prior to the separation of Water- 
ville from Winslow, Winslow voted $250 for schools, and also 
at this meeting a vote was taken to provide for making neces- 
sary alterations in the school districts. Among the early school 
agents in districts on the east side, present Winslow, were: Col, 
Hayden, Ephraim Town and Moses Wyman. In 1800 Winslow 
voted $400 for the use of schools. From this time on her 
efforts have been steady and successful. Winslow has never 
been favored with institutions of higher learning like Water- 
ville, but the interests of the two towns have been closely allied 
and Winslow has been the recipient of large benefits from the 
Waterville institutions ofJearning. We see every reason for 
Winslow to congratulate herself on her past and to look to the 
future with confidence. 

CENSUS OF WINSLOW 1904. 

The population of the town of Winslow has been arranged 
herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible. 
In these families in addition to the names of the resident living 
members, the names of the non-resident members are included. 
It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the 
names of all non-residents of Winslow as the names appear only 
when one or both the parents are still living in town. At the 
end of the Census will be found the present addresses of these 



Winslow Maine. 55 

non-residents when such addresses have been given to the author. 
The non-residents are indicated by the star (*). 

Opijosite the names of the population will be found the occu- 
pation. In order that we might give something of value in 
ascertaining facts concerning attendance upon schools, we have 
given all those who attend a common school or any grade below 
that of a High school the occupation of Pupil. Opposite the 
names of those who are attending a High school or other 
institution of higher learning we have placed the abbreviation 
"Stu." We give in the following list some of the more common 
abbreviations we have used: Far. — Farmer. Car.— Carpenter. 
R. R. Ser. — Conductors, Station Agents, Section Hands, etc. 
Ho. — Housework. Lab. — Laborer. Phy. — Physician. Clerg. 
— Clergyman. Law. — Lawyer. Mer. — Merchant. Mech. — 
Mechanic. Eng. — Engineer. Ins. — Insurance. Tr. — Teacher. 
Blk.— Blacksmith. CI. — Clerk. Sur. — Surgeon. Bk.-kpr. — 
Book-keeper. M'kr. — Maker. W'kr. — Worker. Wk. — Work. 

This Census was taken expressly for this work during the 
spring of 1904 by Rev. B. V. Davis, Kent's Hill, Me.
